Twenty Questions

Year:2018

Tags: mezzotint,sound

This is a series of twenty prints derived from a game in which questions are asked about an object in order to discover its identity. All prints include a sound card activated by a button on the bottom of the frame.

The questions asked by each soundtrack do not have a specific answer but are basic philosophical or object specific questions that go outside the boundary of the object. The mezzotint prints with an image of crumpled paper are paired with blank crumpled paper. The paper is attempting to imitate the print just as the print is trying to define the image of the paper. Ultimately the identity cannot be defined other than what it is or what it is not.
